Bober Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I am not trolling. What's the official ruling for Eliminate the Leadership, in a situation when a player won't reveal this scheme the moment the opposing Master is below half wounds?

I don't know the situation you are talking about, so I'm going to start with the T.O.s word is final, even if its wrong. They are running the event, and have to make that sort of call quickly whilst also having to sort out other things. From the rules you have to reveal it as you score from it. Its not optional. If you don't reveal it I would have said you haven't selected it. as a scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapdancer Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Ruling from last years Nationals? Nobody cares, this is a thread about 2018 ITC. Want to discuss rules there is a sub forum for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitli Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 I have to say I’m really not a fan of the pairing system. Last year’s wasn’t perfect but it definitely added an extra element of tactics to it all that was well-received bybthe people I spoke to. i also recently went to the worlds biggest Age of Sigmar team tournament and again we had so much fun between us trying to plan the favourable matchups and also the less favourable ones. It’s a real shame that this part will be missing. Undoubtedly it will still be a great weekend,, I don’t think anyone is suggesting otherwise but attending a team tournament does offer some unique interactions that a regular singles tournament does not, so it seems a shame to gloss over that particular one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tris Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Ok, after finally reading the ruleset I`m wondering - why was the "pairing" system so drastically changed? Random pairing with a single swap for the whole event takes a lot away from the different experience a team tournament usually provides. Still looking forward to the event, but I hope we could vote for a small change here? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonk Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Maybe, just maybe, we can still kindly ask the TOs to redefine the pairing rules? :) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trikk Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 At the Polish Team Championship we had a system where you preselected masters per round. Team A selected 1 master Team B selected 2 masters Team A picked which one of the masters from the pair they wanted to play against. So Team A sends out Hamelin Team B sebds out Collodi and Sandeep Team A decides if Hamelin plays vs Sandeep or Collodi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this essentially the same as last year? I don't think there are any easy systems that don't have drawbacks. The system you have listed (and the one used last year) force you away from using masters that are "easily" counterable. I am never going to use Ramos if my oponent knows that I will be playing Ramos (for example). I am looking forward to this even but have to agree that this current pairing methodology seems to remove any strategy from the "team" aspect of this event.

Last year you had Team A picks two, Team B picks one, Team A decided which one they want to play. The biggest difference is that in our system you don`t control all matchups and in last years ITCs you controlled all of them (both us and team Trump Card used that extensively). You might use Ramos if the pool favors him. I`d even go further and declare all masters pre-pairings. This way if you have Ramos and they have a counter you can bait him out.

It is usually the "tech" models / mercenaries that are available to the entire faction meaning that paring before crew building doesn't remove this issue if you know which master you are facing. However the only alternative solution I can think of is VERY different to the current system that is in place and may not be better at all, haha. I see the differences between your method and last year - that does seem to be an improvement.

Bonk Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 The solution proposed by Trikk worked pretty well during Polish Team Championship. There was quite a lot of fun planning masters and pairing itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalifauxMartin Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Whilst this is an interesting discussion, the TOs silence on the issue makes me think its wishful thinking... I would be surprised (pleasantly, granted) if the matchup system was changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 In the unlikely case that anyone is still looking for a full group ticket, please contact me. The second team from us will not be materializing (Heck, contact me if you're a lone merc looking for a team - even our first team is starting to look uncertain...)

Kolath Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 So, I just read the final packet and I have to say I am extremely disappointed that there appears to be zero interactive pairing component. I have played in a number of team events before and the master pairing strategy is one of the best parts of it being a team event. Is there any chance of being closer to last year, or the polish system, or even the American Ultimate Team Showdown rules? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flippin' Wyrd Jamie Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Agreed Martin. @Clousseau obviously not expecting an immediate desicion but seems that everyone wants a more tactical match up process 😊 if you'd be willing to consider changing it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosskov Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Please could I check what the requirements are for models to be based? Is it sufficient for a painted model is glued to an unpainted/ unadorned Base? I'm struggling to get time to paint before the tournament (the joys of having a new born) so am trying to work out where to focus. Thanks in advance.

Do you offer two more masters to the leftover master? Or can you choose another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trikk Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 They are predetermined but the opposing team doesn't know about them until they are shown during pairings. The pairing starts anew for each table. So if Team A picks Hamelin, Team B pick Sandeep and Collodi and Hamelin wants to play against Collodi Sandeep goes back to the pool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
